Ahh, dream matches in professional wrestling. No matter what fans might agree or disagree on, there are some matches which are universally considered dream matches, and you can’t say a bad word about any of them. Like Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. It’s the perfect dream match come to fruition.
With the state of the current WWE roster, there are many dream matches which could be extremely beneficial to the individuals involved. After all, things haven’t looked great since Wrestlemania 33, and the company could use a real pick me up through one or all of these matches.

If the WWE decides to take the plunge on these matches, there is a guarantee of great angles, rivalries, stories, and most importantly, a massive boost in the money. And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what everything boils down to?
So, without any further ado, here is our list of 5 dream matches the WWE should pull the trigger on right now:
Please Note: We have included one tag team match, one women’s division match, one upper mid-card match, and two main event matches.
#5 Women’s Division: Sasha Banks vs. Bayley
The Monday Night Raw Women’s Division is struggling at the moment with both Sasha Banks and Bayley involved in some terrible segments over the past few weeks. The Boss’ talents are wasted against the likes of Alicia Fox while Bayley is stuck in that God-awful Kendo Stick on a Pole nonsense.
The best thing for both women – and the rest of the division – is to turn Sasha heel and put them up against each other to restore their broken reputations. They can tear the house down like the did during their time in NXT, and it will immediately raise the interest levels in the Women’s Division.
The Smackdown Live Women’s Division is fine because of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match, but Raw's really needs a pick me up, and this will be the match to give it that shot in the arm.
#4 Tag Team Division: The Revival vs. The Hardy Boyz
SmackDown Live's tag division is doing fine, but Monday Night Raw's is almost on life support. The blue brand has The Usos, The New Day, and surprisingly, Breezango doing all the heavy lifting while Monday nights is all about The Hardyz and nothing else. Sheamus and Cesaro just aren’t up there as a top heel tag team.
So, enter The Revival. Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are the perfect opponents for Matt and Jeff Hardy. Their no-nonsense style of wrestling is the antithesis of what The Hardy Boyz do. The Revival are all about fists, not flips whereas the brothers are all about the flips.
There is also a great babyfaces vs. heels dynamic as there are other teams which are so fundamentally babyface and heel as The Hardyz and The Revival respectively. This can be the feud to really elevate the tag division to greatness.
#3 Upper Mid-Card: Baron Corbin vs. John Cena
Now, before you lose your mind that I’m including John Cena in the upper mid-card, please cast your minds back to his run as the WWE United States Champion and what a great job he did putting talent over during that period.
Now, his chosen opponent for this dream match is Baron Corbin. Sure, JBL keeps saying that Corbin is a future WWE Champion, but The Lone Wolf needs that one final push to become a main event star. The man who can give him that push is The Leader of the Cenation.
Their styles would mesh perfectly as they try to outpower each other and there is a great opportunity for storytelling as Cena uses his veteran instincts to get one over the young and hungry Corbin. A win for the big man here would propel him to greatness.

#2 Main Event: Finn Balor vs. Brock Lesnar
Finn Balor is one of the most over superstars in the world today. Brock Lesnar is...well, he’s Brock Lesnar. What more needs to be said than that? Well, putting the two against each other for the WWE Universal Championship would be the best decision that the creative team on Raw can take.
The Demon who never lost the title against The Beast that now holds it. This is especially enticing considering how Paul Heyman put Balor over with the entire WWE Universe with his endorsement live on Raw.
This could be very similar to the CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar match that we saw at Summerslam years ago and what a story it would be for Balor to regain the title from Brock.
#1 Main Event: Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles
Randy Orton has become boring. There are no two ways about it, and something needs to change for The Viper. That change can come in the form of AJ Styles. After all, The Phenomenal One has great matches with everyone else and can help refresh the stale gimmick that has plagued Orton.
With Styles even saying that Orton is a dream opponent of his, it would see AJ back in the main event picture where he belongs while giving Randy everything he needs to regain his lost momentum. Win-win.
